Who are you addressing? Anyone in general or people in your area? Because there are tons of people in MN who play, but it'd be unlikely for you to come here for tournies.

I'd say that the MN Twin Cities playgroup is roughly between 50-75 people, and that's only one of the playgroups in MN.

I'm sorry, I thought I had answered you earlier.  I WAS at Joe's last tournament, he gave me a ton of his old cards to spread among the players if I could, but we didn't have anything for a while after that.  Talking to Rob and Chris at the 05 Nats planted the seed in my mind to start taking big steps in the game: getting tournaments going again, set up the website, sell cards, and eventually bring Nats here.

Obviously the site was the only thing to happen anytime soon after 05 Nats.  Selling cards and doing tournaments has just come together in the last six or eight months, and Nats are a long-term project.  But where I'm going with all this is, I looked way back on what Joe had done for me before he left, and it was sort of the genesis of the idea for The Storehouse, collecting used cards donated from long-time players and reselling them / giving them out to new and growing playgroups.

Our success with tournaments has been promising so far, but limited, but rest assured we're working to bring central Ohio back into the tournament scene in a big way!  :)

The good news is, I can see now on the RNRS rankings that my brother-in-law (Josh Kullberg) and our best young player (Nathan Ensminger) have RNRS points to their credit!  Hooray!  Their names are in the spotlight!  The bad news is, Brian, who drove AAAALLLLL the way from WV to introduce our young playgroup (and Tom) to pain and suffering, had his name spelled "Brain" in the rankings.

"Pinky and the Brain, Pinky and the Brain, one is a genius, the other's insane." (shakes his head and finally comes back to his senses). Yeah, I noticed that my name is spelled Brain in the standings instead of Brian. It would be fun if you could get a district in Columbus. And on the topic of those Minnnesota players, I played quite a bit in Minnesota in 2005-2006 and I can say they have a lot of great players up there, including Prof. Alstad. By the way Scheaf, nice picture of Pinky and the Brain.

Did I ever meet you? I have no idea who you are, so if I did I'm sorry for my forgetfulness.

To notch up the excitment for ohio, I got a snail mail letter from Joe Revesz, he's planning on having a tourny on the 20th in akron I think, it will be my first time playing(If I make it) in a tournament since who knows how long but I'm looking forward to it.

I was asking goldranger if I had ever met him, since he's been to MN tournaments (as have I, since I live in MN).

Now that I am back from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan (went to see parents for Thanksgiving), I can answer Prof. Alstad's question. We have met but not directly. I saw you at the District Tournament earlier this year in Roseville on March 5. You played my friend in Closed Deck and beat him and I think you went on to win it that day. My friend and I came from southwest Wisconsin (at the time I lived there) and we were the only ones from Wisconsin. We came to check out a tournament in Twin Cities and we had fun. Anyway, pray for me. I have to go to Grundy, VA for an interview for a youth ministry opening so wish me luck. There is still a chance I could end up in Indiana (south of Fort Wayne) and possibly up by Staples, MN so wish me luck.

Closed Deck simply means that you do not pre-construct your deck like in Type 1 and Type 2.  Closed Deck 2 player is also known as Sealed Deck, where each person gets one starter deck and three booster packs of their choice.  They then proceed to make a deck out of the cards they want in their deck, and play just like in Type 1-2player.

Attention:  Cinci host/s and players

A grandma had today just bought two starter decks to bring with her from NY to Cinci to give her grandkids for Christmas.  I had promised to give her contact details for a person or persons who can help teach he game to them.  Thinktank?

If I get to come to tournament to the District in Franklin next Friday (which right now I have plans to), I will probably stay the night at the church there as well so you have one more more that will be joining the others.
